Today in religion we began a Stations of the Cross booklet. Students will learn about each station.
The next schoolwide Stations of the Cross will be on Friday, March 23 at 2:00 pm.
In math students practiced subtracting money. They need to practice renaming and the decimal throws them for a loop. We will continue to review and practice. tomorrow we will be practicing story problems using money and subtraction.
In language we are working on pronouns and when to use them. From now on when using "I" in a sentence it must be capital or I will mark it wrong. No more capitals in the middle of words or sentences when they are not proper nouns. Also, there need to be space left between words. Again, if I can't read it, it is wrong.
Also, students need to practice bringing their agendas home daily, even if they don't change. It is good practice for next year.

We have had a very busy week.
In religion we finished up Corporal Works of Mercy. Students also went to Adoration on Thursday afternoon.

We were also able to see the wonderful books the 6th graders, our prayer buddies, wrote. Then a few 8th grade boys who took the school supplies to St Peter's School came in and talked with us about how grateful the school was to get the supplies. They also told us what the school was like and that they were not a fortunate as we are. The 2nd graders asked them great questions.

Students were awesome at Mass today. We have a new dismissal from Mass. Now we don't get stepped on by the bigger kids. It's great!
In math we finished up multiplying and dividing by 5's. We will finish up Unit 8 by Friday and start on money on Monday.
In reading students took the Unit Assessment which assessed to concepts for the whole unit.
Tomorrow we start a new unit and the first story is about an animal that lives in the Sonoran Desert.
TREAT ALERT- Coming from the AZ Dept of Health, students may not bring in treats that are homemade. There is not way to monitor how they are prepared. Sorry.
We read a story about a quiltmaker and she made quilts for the poor and she would only make a quilt for the king if he gave away all his possessions. Students got the concept that things don't make you happy and that giving feels way better than receiving. These students are great Christian Leaders.

Today we learned what the Corporal Works of Mercy are. Then we put our faith into action by counting the school supplies that were collected last week. 2C sorted the supplies, we counted them, and 2C graphed them. It was a team effort. There were a ton of supplies collected. Good job 2nd grade!
In math we started learning the 5's times tables. Tomorrow we will be dividing by 5's.
In reading we reviewed contractions and compound words. Students also worked in small groups using stop watches to check their reading fluency.
Students went to the library and had art.
I did attach to the assignment sheet the class list for valentines. If you choose to send in a small treat, please do not send in cupcakes. Maybe a treat on the healthier side would be a great idea.
I also attached a flyer asking for volunteers for the 2nd grade retreat on March 6.
